The Comment Monster
A monster lives in the comments section of Cavs: The Blog, and he likes to feed on comments. We have very little idea about when he will strike. What we do know is that comments with 2 or more links will get filed into the spam folder, as will comments with foul or discriminatory language. The comment monster also seems to enjoy extra-long comments, so if you have a long comment, you may want to press copy before submitting a long comment and break it into multiple pieces if the monster eats it. If you are having particular trouble with the monster, email one of us and we will talk to him for you.
im over at daily dime live for the first time ever (well, i usually read the transcript the next day) and no krolik! booooo…….
My bad man, didn’t get my invite request in in time. I’m twittering, so come hang out there.
The Cavs are literally sleepwalking through the game. They didn’t attempt a 3 in the first quarter. Anthony Parker played 12 straight minutes despite letting Joe Johnson and Jamaal Crawford shoot 100%. What is going ON?
J.J. Hickson is playing worse now than when Brown used to pull him for playing poorly. When he’s out there it’s seriously like we’re playing 4 on 6.
It’s been like 34 games and Shaq can’t get the ball over the rim from 0 feet away and it’s making me not want to live.
Daniel Gibson comes in and immediately makes an impact, on defense, no less. He was shooting 50% on 3s and playing the best defense of his career. Who does he have to blow to get some minutes?
Varejao + 3 = OMG
Ryan… hilarious. What a freaking comeback tonight. Not sure they deserved it, but I will take this one to the bank. I thought that the Lebron turnover on the inbounds that lead to the 3 ball by Johnson would haunt them… Is it just me or does JJ Hickson have the slipperiest hands of all time? Either that or they are tiny. He gets his hands on a lot of balls, but almost never possesses the ball unless there is nobody around him. And don’t get me started on catching entry feeds. He is the anti-Varejao in that respect. What a game. The buildup to the Cavs taking the first lead of the game– can’t remember a game in which it took THAT long.
One of these games, Lebron, Mo, and Brother Redbush will all have it going simultaneously and I think my head will explode.
Man, poor Atlanta. The Cavs earned the win in the 4th after a slow start, but I wish that shot clock foul-up hadn’t happened. At least we took it by more than one possession.
Nice to see Lebron lighting up the scoreboard, especially after that hard hit he took. He’s done some great team play as of late; it’s good to know that he still has the ability to take it away when others’ shots aren’t falling. Now let’s hope he doesn’t have to do it too much more….
Oh and this has to be the 10,000th example of a game that ends with nobody shaking hands on either side, yet everybody still pretends like the Orlando incident was some ghastly once-in-a-lifetime crime.
I think it was an end-of-the-series type thing. Anyone tried to shake a Hawk hand after this one, it would’ve gotten taken off. Would’ve been Southland Tales-style up in the Q.
